The historical financial information used for the purposes of such analysis has been restated. Please refer to Supplementary Information contained herein for further information.

There are a number of key judgement areas, for example impairment calculations, which are based on models and which are subject to ongoing adjustment and modifications. Reported numbers reflect best estimates and judgements at the given point in time.

Relevant terms that are used in this document but are not defined under applicable regulatory guidance or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are explained in the results glossary, which can be accessed at home.barclays/investor-relations.

Consistent with its usual practice, Barclays expects that from time to time over the coming quarter it will meet with investors globally to discuss these results and other matters relating to the Group.

Non-IFRS performance measures

Barclays' management believes that the non-IFRS performance measures included in this document provide valuable information to the readers of the financial statements as they enable the reader to identify a more consistent basis for comparing the businesses' performance between financial periods and provide more detail concerning the elements of performance which the managers of these businesses are most directly able to influence or are relevant for an assessment of the Group. They also reflect an important aspect of the way in which operating targets are defined and performance is monitored by Barclays' management. However, any non-IFRS performance measures in this document are not a substitute for IFRS measures and readers should consider the IFRS measures as well. Refer to the appendix on pages 77 to 83 for further information and calculations of non-IFRS performance measures included throughout this document, and the most directly comparable IFRS measures.

Forward-looking statements

This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Group. Barclays cautions readers that no forward- looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and that actual results or other financial condition or performance measures could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as 'may', 'will', 'seek', 'continue', 'aim', 'anticipate', 'target', 'projected', 'expect', 'estimate', 'intend', 'plan', 'goal', 'believe', 'achieve' or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements can be made in writing but also may be made verbally by directors, officers and employees of the Group (including during management presentations) in connection with this document. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements or guidance regarding or relating to the Group's future financial position, income levels, costs, assets and liabilities, impairment charges, provisions, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, capital distributions (including dividend policy and share buybacks), return on tangible equity, projected levels of growth in banking and financial markets, industry trends, any commitments and targets (including environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments and targets), business strategy, plans and objectives for future operations and other statements that are not historical or current facts. By their nature, forward- looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. Forward-looking statements speak only as at the date on which they are made. Forward-looking statements may be affected by a number of factors, including, without limitation: changes in legislation, regulation and the interpretation thereof, changes in IFRS and other accounting standards, including practices with regard to the interpretation and application thereof and emerging and developing ESG reporting standards; the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations; the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory authorities; the Group's ability along with governments and other stakeholders to measure, manage and mitigate the impacts of climate change effectively; environmental, social and geopolitical risks and incidents and similar events beyond the Group's control; the impact of competition; capital, leverage and other regulatory rules applicable to past, current and future periods; UK, US, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions, including inflation; volatility in credit and capital markets; market related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; higher or lower asset valuations; changes in credit ratings of any entity within the Group or any securities issued by it; changes in counterparty risk; changes in consumer behaviour; the direct and indirect consequences of the Russia-Ukraine war on European and global macroeconomic conditions, political stability and financial markets; direct and indirect impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic; instability as a result of the UK's exit from the European Union (EU), the effects of the EU- UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement and any disruption that may subsequently result in the UK and globally; the risk of cyber-attacks, information or security breaches or technology failures on the Group's reputation, business or operations; the Group's ability to access funding; and the success of acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions. A number of these factors are beyond the Group's control. As a result, the Group's actual financial position, results, financial and non-financial metrics or performance measures or its ability to meet commitments and targets may differ materially from the statements or guidance set forth in the Group's forward-looking statements. Additional risks and factors which may impact the Group's future financial condition and performance are identified in Barclays PLC's filings with the SEC (including, without limitation, Barclays PLC's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the financial year ended 31 December 2022), which are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Subject to Barclays PLC's obligations under the applicable laws and regulations of any relevant jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the UK and the US) in relation to disclosure and ongoing information, we undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Demonstrating execution against our three strategic priorities:

  • Deliver next generation digitised consumer financial services: simplifying and upgrading online banking services - with over 10.5 million Barclays UK mobile banking app users, and log-ins up 8% year-on-year. c.220k 'Rainy Day Saver' accounts opened online since launch on 29 September 2022, 41% are new or re-joining Blue Rewards customers. In the US Consumer Bank, the Gap portfolio2 integration onto our platform doubled our US customer base to over 20 million
  • Deliver sustainable growth in the Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB): 114bps of revenue share gain in Global Markets from 2019-20223; second fastest growth rate across the top 10 global peers. Investment in Financing businesses delivered more stable, high returning income of £2.9bn in 2022 reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16% since 2019
  • Capture opportunities as we transition to a low-carbon economy: new expanded target to facilitate $1 trillion of Sustainable and Transition Financing by the end of 2030. The Group's Sustainable Impact Capital investment mandate is now £500m by the end of 2027

2022 Performance highlights4:

  • Group profit before impairment of £8.2bn, up 9% year-on-year
  • Group income of £25.0bn, up 14% year-on-year with broad-based momentum across our operating divisions and the benefit from FX:

    • Consumer, Cards and Payments (CC&P) income increased by 35% supported by higher balances in US cards and Private Bank with turnover growth in Payments
    • Barclays UK income increased by 11% primarily driven by the rising rate environment

  • Credit impairment charges were £1.2bn, with a loan loss rate (LLR) of 30bps, reflecting macroeconomic deterioration, partially offset by the utilisation of post-model adjustments (PMAs) for macroeconomic uncertainty and the release of COVID-19 related adjustments informed by refreshed scenarios. Coverage ratios at the portfolio level remain strong
  • CET1 ratio of 13.9% and tangible net asset value (TNAV) per share of 295p
  • Capital distributions: total dividend for 2022 of 7.25p per share (2021: 6.0p), including a 5.0p per share 2022 full year dividend.

  • Group income was £5.8bn, up 12% year-on-year including the benefit from FX, with strong performances in Barclays UK and CC&P. Within CIB, strong performances in Global Markets and Transaction banking were more than offset by reduced income in Investment Banking and Corporate Lending
